Trimet, including: Max Light Rail, Portland Streetcar
TriMet, more formally known as the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon, is a public agency that operates
mass transit in a region that spans most of the Portland metropolitan area in the U.S. state of Oregon.

Created in 1969 by the
Oregon legislature, the district replaced five private bus companies that operated in the three counties; Multnomah, Washington,
and Clackamas.

TriMet started operating a light rail system named MAX in 1986, and opened new lines in 1998 (Westside), 2001 (Airport),
2004 (Interstate Ave.), and 2009 (Clackamas), as well as a commuter rail line in 2009. It also runs the Portland Vintage
Trolley on light rail lines in Downtown Portland and operates the City of Portland owned Portland Streetcar.
